In this, her final installment, Carson again delves in the Nature of Life at the boundaries of sea and land. As in all her writings, Carson raises the bar for quality nature writing for all future authors. Poetically written for the layman reader this book still serves as a good introduction to Marine Biology. Although much has changed in this branch of science since 1955 it shouldn't make any difference to the the general reader, like myself. Like all scientist's, Carson was well aware that new observations and theories might someday override her conclusions, but in 1955 this book was at the cutting edge of marine biology. Nowadays interested readers just need to keep in mind when the book was written and let that serve as a jumping off place for more up to date publications. The book starts with the ecology of shore life and with the ever changing geology and changes in continental shape and position. Carson does not mention Plate Tectonics or Continental Drift, per say, but does address changing sea levels and the erosional changes to coast lines, world wide. And, as always, she talks about the human impact on the shoreline, pollution and quality of the ocean water itself. Warnings that ring as true today as they did in the mid 20th Century. Ocean life is not only the biology of individual species but more so how different plants and animals intact with one another. No organism lives in isolation but is an active member of a community of living things that live and die according to their very nature. As Carson talks about many of the shores organisms she reminds the readers that some of her conclusions are mere speculation and that much remains to be discovered by future scientists. Her speculations, however, are based on years of intense observations and her own intimate knowledge of sea life. I really enjoyed reading this classic nature book, it offered many incites on our oceans's myriad livings things, their life histories and evolution. It also offered a look on where the oceans have come from and where they may be going in years to come. The original edition had many fine line-drawings by wildlife artist Robert W. Hines that are included in the Kindle edition. Also included in this e-reader edition is a new introduction by modern nature writer Sue Hubbell. I had no technical or downloading problems with this Kindle edition.Last Ranger ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you're interested in marine biology, this book will be a great starting point for you. *by M***N on Reviewed in the United States on May 26, 2020* Rachel is able to run through so many organisms and how their life is entangled in one another so effortlessly. While some parts can be a bit cumbersome to read through, you will learn about marine life that you never even heard of! This is a robust guide through plant and animal life, with only a sprinkle of climate factors(to my dismay). ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absorbing book about the intricate balance between the sea and the shore. *by S***B on Reviewed in the United States on July 14, 2021* So interesting and so well written. Anyone who lives or visits by the edge of the sea will learn so much and come away with awe.
